Indian Feast and Dance.

The .'te-can-na' is more INDUCED
in now as "a part of religious worship.
This is properly the feast and dance.
A dog has been prepared as a sacrifice
and while it Is being cooked over fire
in the lodge and the savory odor Is
waited to the nostril- of the Indian,
he performs his dcyotions. Only IN
yited guests are present in the lodge
to take part in the exercises, and out
side no one approaches near it.
When the dog has been well cooked,
it is dished up and passed around by
one of the priesthood everyone hay-
ing brought his own dish). 1t is then
eaten Us quickly as possible, when the
ceremonies again begin.
Seated on the platform are the
musicians They art hideously
painted. and are in state of semi
nudity, while they glitter with bar
barrie ornaments Frantically they
beat upon drums, interspersed with
the shaking Of gourds, singing, mean
while. the sacred chant of the clan.
Here is one commonly used:
Muh.quDh Mak-a-moan
Au-wash tus sa ke-shuk-We
Mon-na cnau-kut-we.
This is the sacred song Of the Bear
(Muhquoh) clan or band -four banu>
being represented at the Indian VII
lagc.
But now the discordant tone of the
chanting rises higher and higher, then
sinks away almost to silence Again
if rises with renewed energy of voice.
and anon is heard no more. This Is
continued for many hours. The wo-
men present are silent. and only the
voice of one who has been allowed
special privileges is heard.
After this to them solemn ceremony
the dancing begins. and it Is also OBJ
served rs a part of worship. A loud,
shrill whistle Is blown that reaches to
the distant lodges. Then the cover
inc is removed from the door, that all
who wish may behold the dance. One
behind the other with rhythmic, meas
ured step, they slowly move in circle
around the lodge to the mrsic(D Of
the drum and the fierce chanting Of
the orchestra, which is mingled
with the whoops and -hrill cries of the
dancers The step of the women is a
peculiar jump which moves their
whole bodies The dance is generally
continued until all arp exhausted by
the violent exercise.
Evevy style of costume en- lack OF

of the Indians. Some are clothed
with "a consciousness of virtue and a
necklace of bears claws others wear

is no use for US to advertise There
never was greater mistake There ID
probably no house in the United States
better known than ours, but we would
as soon think of cancelling ourinsuranee
policies as our advertising contracts. We
spend more money with newspapers each
year that goes by; there are more people
who want goods, and new trade is always
coming to the surface. Advertising THAI
is well done is cumulative in its 'chaIac-
ter 1t is like the compromising of In
terest. An advertisement in a daily
paper one day will, in all probability,
make good return to the merchant who
has the goods the people want at the
right prices; each successive advertise
ment that he puts in gains an impetus
and influence from the original one and
its followsers, and so it counts up until the
name of the firm gets what is equivalent
to the good will of successful bust
ness, besides deriving the direct profit
from immediate sales caused by the
advertising.
"To ADVERTISE WELL"
continued the gentleman, "a merchant
should give rs much care to his news
paper space as he does TO any other de-
partmeut Of his business. AS general
thing merchant can well afferd to spond
in newspaper advertising from one.third
to one fifth the amount Of all his other
total expenses. In some lines this limit
can be exceeded, but on an average the
rule above will hold pretty good, and
that he is not exceeding safe sum.
People have totally COTTON over the vagary
that they can buy more cheaply from
houses who do not have the expense OF
advertising. There never was greater
mistake in the world. But TO conclude,
l would lay it down as a general propo-
sition that advertising which is done
truthfully and well pays handsomely.
If man in business talks az earnestly
through his newspaper when he is adj
dressing one or two hundred thousand
people, simultaneously, as when he 10
talking to one customer, he can not fail
to make success out of newspaper adj
vertising."

Free Trade.

The reduction of internal revenue and
the taking off of revenue stamps from
Proprietary Medicines, no doubt has
largely benefited the consumers, as we'll
as relieving the burden of home manu-
facturers. Especially is this the case
with Green 'sAugust Flower and Boschee's
German Syrup, as the reduction of thir-
ty-six cents per dozen, has been added to
increase the size of the bottles containing
these remedies, thereby giving one-fifth
more medicine in the 70 cents size. The
August Flower for Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint and the German Syrup for
Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps,
the largest sale of any medicines in the
world. The advantage of increased size
of the bottles will be greatly appreciated
by the sick and afflicted, in every town
